story.     Taking my excitement from participating in the "Art Alley" public art domain in my hometown, I approached the Valley View Chamber of                 Commerce with a pitch to add a mural to Valley View. The Chamber of Commerce pay for the paint, I donate my time and the city gets                   some cool public art while I have a ton of fun painting it: win-win. I completed the mural over the course of several months, working on                   weekends when schedule and weather allowed. Highlights of this mural project: the comments and encouragement from locals as the                     image slowly emerged over the months. It became a group project of sorts to me as people commented on different aspects of the image                 and even guessed what was coming next.
